Be sure to visit 1st Annual Muskoka Maple Festival

Muskoka Maple Festival Coming to Downtown Huntsville

There is a lot of excitement in Muskoka these days, with another signature Muskoka event coming to the Town of Huntsville this spring.

On April 23, the Huntsville / Lake of Bays Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the 1st Annual Muskoka Maple Festival, a celebration of Canada's most beloved natural product, maple syrup. Huntsville's downtown core will be transformed into the Mecca of maple for one day of family fun that you won't want to miss!

Maple syrup represents true Canadiana. Nowhere in the world is maple syrup celebrated the way it is in Canada, probably because 71% of the world's pure maple syrup is produced here, with only a few northeastern states in the US producing the rest. The image of the sap bucket hanging from a maple tree in the sugar bush is one that resonates with many Ontarians, often bringing back memories of family trips to the sugar shack and the delightful smell of boiling sap.


The one-day Muskoka Maple Festival takes place on April 23, starting with a pancake breakfast under the tent on the main street of Huntsville. Hosted by the Rotary Club, you will be able to get your fill on pancakes covered in fresh, locally made maple syrup. Breakfast starts at 9am so come early!

The rest of downtown Huntsville will be transformed into a maple marketplace featuring local Muskoka maple syrup producers, arts and craft vendors and local chefs. Stop by to try your favourite maple goodies, and stock up on fresh maple syrup to enjoy at home all year round. This will be one of the sweetest marketplaces you will ever peruse, and you might even find some maple treats you never even knew existed - including the launch of Tapped Maple Tree Water, a new Huntsville business that will be launching their sweet new drink at the Festival.

The Muskoka Maple Festival will bring you back to your roots, and will have a great heritage atmosphere. The beautiful sounds of fiddle music will fill the downtown core throughout the day, going hand in hand with Canada's storied past of maple syrup producing. There will also be a number of maple artifacts on display, with one of Canada's top maple experts on hand to answer questions for curious minds.

Even more entertainment will be taking place throughout the day for you and your family to enjoy, including chainsaw carving, a wildlife caller, and the talented Theatre Arcturus, a spectacular and award-winning aerial show that blends circus arts and theatrical storytelling.
